Purposes for Writing in a Notebook: Kids’ Responses

Stacey Shubitz

My markers may have been drying up, but there was nothing that was going to stop me from recording my kids’ responses during the minilesson I gave today. Take a look at what they had to say. (Click here for the corresponding lesson.)

Too bad most of my markers were dying when I made this chart!

  1. FYI the markers can be brought back to life by dipping them in a bit of nail polish remover. It’s often welcomed by students who need a mindless task. Love the lesson, thanks for sharing.
